Chapter 491 Western Fantasy
Although he used the royal palace built by the ancestors of the Kadir family and repaired for generations, the new king did not retain the extravagant habits of the old members of the royal family.Throughout the preparations for the enthronement, the most common phrase heard by court officials was: "It doesn't need to be so complicated. Keep it simple, simple."
To be honest, this made the palace officials really relieved.After all, compared with the royal court of the previous generation, their current manpower is really small.
However, the entire palace has only the new king as its owner.Regardless of the preparations for the upcoming ceremony, weekday work can be called leisure.
With good expectations for future life, the day of the new king's enthronement finally arrived.
Adrian did not hide a few gold wells in the capital like Kadir VII. Whoever can find them can get all the gold coins and gems in the wells.
In his view, great wealth that suddenly falls into someone's hands is not a blessing.And the few nobles who took the initiative to take refuge in the new king in the early stage of the war also said that none of the six "lucky ones" had a happy ending.
They seemed to be the protagonists in a drama staged for the nobles.A few days after waking up on a gold coin, someone "mistakenly entered" a gambling hall.Those heavy gold gems were like a dream that came and went quickly for him, and in a blink of an eye he was the poor tailor again.
In hindsight, this poor tailor was even the luckiest of all gold well holders.At least he was not hacked to death by his wife on the bedside, nor was his husband end his life with a glass of poisoned wine.
"Money, money." The noble who told Adrian about all this sighed "tsk tsk".After the words fell, he suddenly realized something, held his breath and looked at the new king.
Adrian didn't care about anything, and even said with a smile: "But the treasure hunt game can indeed mobilize the enthusiasm of the entire royal capital."
The nobleman gave a cautious "hmm".Immediately afterwards, I heard the new king thinking: "One thousand gold coins will destroy a family, but one gold coin can bring people a happy winter..."
In this way, the game arrived as scheduled.
It's just completely different from the chaos in people's impressions. The treasure hunting rules prepared by the new king can be called complicated.This reminds many people of the fear of being governed by various contracts led by Savien, but one thing is always true, complex rules create an unparalleled order.
They chanted: "Join the escort team and complete a day's patrol, you can get [-] points. Participate in the escort team's training that day, you can get [-] extra points... Send a lost child home, get [-] points. Fix the air leak for the neighbor's mother-in-law Ten points for the roof."
The entire game will last for a full month, and those who are willing to join need to go to the transaction hall to sign a contract first—it’s a “contract” again—and then the accumulation of points begins.
People originally guessed what the person with the most points would get after a month.Is it like the golden well when Kadir VII came to the throne, or a baron, or even a viscount territory?Even though they had heard the stories of those "lucky guys" in the past, when it was their turn, they still couldn't help but have expectations.
Then the expectations are quickly dashed.The soldiers who had already signed the contract one step ahead and took over the task of explaining spoke loudly, telling them that this game does not depend on the ranking, but every point has its own use.Twenty points can be exchanged for three pieces of bread at the small shop on the southern street, and eighty points can be exchanged for a piece of cloth with elementary cold resistance.If it's [-] points, hey, what's coming is the personal teaching of the knight commander!
The legend of the second awakening has been circulating among the warriors for a long time, and the warrior who spoke has begun to be fascinated.In front of him, the people felt a little disappointed, and muttered: "Just like this?" "I thought I could get a few gold coins at least..." But after thinking about it, although the bread and cloth are not expensive, at least they are free. If you have it in hand, there is no harm in participating.
The light of the establishment of the contract continued to shine in the transaction hall.For the next whole month, the most popular voice in the capital was "what is the most cost-effective exchange method".Even farmers in nearby villages are enthusiastically participating in the non-ploughing season.
"Sixteen gold coins—oh, you want to exchange them for points?"
In "Sound of Tide Magic", Yue Wuyu glanced at the young man in front of him who was wearing a hood and couldn't see his face clearly, and quickly looked away, "Okay, three hundred points, thank you for your patronage."
According to another document signed by the merchants with the Office of Affairs, the points they collect will be converted into money later.Adrian calculated in advance, and thought that after 30 days, the expenditure of the treasury would not be more than [-] gold coins.
This is logically just an ordinary transaction.However, before the guests left, Guanlan said abruptly, "We have a potion that the king used when he was in the domain of Severn..."
The hooded youth didn't pay attention to this sales pitch at first.Until he heard the second half of the shopkeeper's voice, "It is because of this potion that the king can appear with another face in Severn."
The footsteps of the young man stopped immediately.He turned around and asked very tangled, "How many gold coins do you want?"
The shop owner seemed to think for a moment, and said, "Gold coins... are very expensive. My suggestion is to exchange them with other things."
The young man's heart was "thumping". Seeing the shopkeeper showing a helpless look, he said: "Well, we have encountered a little trouble in our experiment recently, and we need some potions. It's just that those potions are hard to find, so we can only touch them like this." It's just luck. At other times, it wouldn't be like this—" After waiting for a long time, I finally got the name of the potion.
Under the hood, the young man's golden-green pupils suddenly shrank.
"I have!" He couldn't wait to speak first, and then realized that he should be a little more reserved.Just thinking of the possibilities brought by the potion, even the restraint at this moment is very limited.
He stared at the shopkeeper in front of him and said, "I'll trade with you. But, we have to-"
"Sign the contract." The shopkeeper said in a brisk tone, "Goddess of Fairness is here."
It seems that they are also very worried about the problem with the potion.The young man thought to himself, and breathed a sigh of relief at the possibility.
Another influence brought by the new king is undoubtedly the ubiquitous grammar classroom.Soon, a contract with clear terms and satisfactory to both parties was established.Afterwards, both parties were satisfied with what they needed.
The hooded youth left in a hurry, leaving Yue Wuyu in the shop to ask, "Is he the elf imprisoned in the palace by King Kadir VII?"
Guanlan looked at the direction Amora left for a moment, then shook his head: "No, he's not."
Yue Wuyu was surprised, but Guanlan finally figured out something.As he thought before, the continent where the elves were located may have been connected to this small world, but the space channel between the two sides has long been broken.There is no elf territory on the Central Continent now, but there were elves who stayed behind after all.
When they turned into loess and magical elements in the air, all that remained were half-elves with the blood of this magical race.As for Amora and Adrian's mother... To put it bluntly, only in a certain generation and a certain individual, the characteristics of the ancestors reappeared.
This is also the reason why slave hunters plowed their hometown every time they found an "elf", but they could never find another sharp-eared creature.
In a way, there is no difference between Amora and Adrian.They even have the same closeness to the wood element, as well as the very vague inheritance memory of magical creatures that occasionally float in their minds...
The murmur from the long-gone elf forest is like a mother, telling her longing for her child who was left in a foreign land.
"So that's how it is." Yue Wuyu suddenly understood.
Guanlan thought for a moment, "Adrian has always been thinking about Amora." It is said that when the capital was breached, Kadir VII finally walked out of the "Elf Kingdom" he had imitated, and used his life as a The end of a dynasty.At that time, Amora disappeared.It is clear now that he escaped in the chaos, and then he was worried that he would repeat the same mistakes, so he did not dare to leave the capital and go on the road alone, so he stayed in the city until now.
Yue Wuyu smiled, "Well, you can tell him the good news."
Later in the day, the knight commander came out from the outside, and saw that the new king was not sitting at the desk to write official documents, but was standing by the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
He smirked, walked forward, and saw the sheet in Adrian's hand at a glance.
Round, golden.The memory revived in his mind, and Feit remembered: "This is..."
"Mr. Guanlan gave it to me." Adrian said, "He just told me one, no, several things."
At this time, the distance between the two was less than a hug.
Feit listened to Adrian finish what he had just learned. The safety of the "elf" boy, the speculation about the two bloodlines... Finally, Adrian said: "Perhaps in the future, there will be an 'elf' similar to Amora."
"On that day," Fait said softly, "he will be safe, free, and live without any cover."
The corners of Adrian's lips curled up a little bit, and he said softly, "That day may be far away."
"But we'll get there - my dear, I've come to invite you to the auditorium."
Adrian was stunned: "Is this time already?"
Faith smiled and said, "Yes."
They are about to usher in a new year.The nobles were waiting for the king to announce the start of the ball, but before that, Veit suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
Adrian looked at him suspiciously.
Then I saw Feit take a step back, with his left hand behind his back, his right hand stretched out towards him, and he bent his body slightly.
He asked himself: "May I invite Your Majesty to dance first?"
Adrian listened, raised his brows lightly, and said, "For 'Your Majesty', probably not."
Faith had no choice but to look embarrassed and said, "Okay, then I invite Adrian—"
Before the words fell, he heard the laughter of the silver-haired youth.Along with it was a hand that fell on his palm.
His former lord, now king, was fast approaching him.Like a silver dream, falling into the arms of the knight.
"'Adrian,'" his king smiled and kissed him, "you can do whatever you want with him or with him—"
"Happy New Year, my dear."
The author has something to say:
This world is over~
An emergency vote before the episode.In the next world, do you want to see a simpler plot or a more complicated one?To put it simply, it is similar to Jiajia and He Ge (running the world with the ball), purely solving emotional conflicts + scumbags.If it is complicated, it is similar to the Western Fantasy or Zerg world, in addition to emotional conflicts, there is another main line.
